United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union

The Embassy of Finland has followed closely the preparation of the UK's exit from the EU ever since the referendum took place in the end of June 2016. Negotiations on the terms of UK's departure and the future relationship between the EU and the UK are ongoing.

Along the rights and status of EU nationals, one of the key issues for Finnish people living in the UK is economic uncertainty, the effects of which are very difficult to predict. The embassy will be following the negotiations and the discussion of the status of EU-nationals closely.
